Playtime @ MAC

I went to the mall earlier this week looking for pants for The Beast's graduation. This is proving to be a very difficult mission as we are talking about a 6'4'' skinny minnie daddy longlegs. I was forced to console myself with a visit with lovely MAC princesses. 

I was of course compelled to ask about Surf Baby and Shannon smiled and walked away only to reappear with a tub of lovely loveliness...I was like ohhh and ahhhh and lets see the Hibiscus. It is a glorious tube that I can't wait to wear. I was like I must have the blush and S. was like of course you do. The only other thing I wanted was the Gilded White pencil. S. placed them all in a bag for me to pick up on Thursday and it was all good. Until she said I haven't played with the pigments and I was like they hold not interest for me...
Well they hadn't, until the swatch party started. Surf the Ocean is just perfect, the colors are beyond lovely and they are so smooth and simply glide on and into the bag they went. S. was like we will play on Thursday and you can decide then, smile, wink and nudge.

She then asked me if I had seen the Big Bounce shadows and I was like ooooh I have heard some horrible things about them. Shannon was like sit and with a fluffy brush and pouncing motion applied Up the Ante over the bronze colored shadow I was wearing.

This color is absolute perfection, a shimmering pot of loveliness. S. said it is imperative that these shadows be applied over powder and that as well as a fluffy brush are the keys to success, I am absolutely thrilled that I have this in my collection.
